Chapter 20 (1/2)
Chapter 20: Forest supporting two overlords
Zhang Yang has found two fire scales, according to this observation in the past few days. The herd might've taken over an inactive volcano, although it's inactive, the element of fire still lingers around, it could be attracting the bulls.
The bulls sleep during the day, they are nocturnal animals, going out to feed on fertile gra.s.s at night. The fire element and Ying Qi will naturally damage a zombie. So Zhang Yang decides to plan yet another sneak attack, lurking around the outskirts first.
Splitting the sky, a crescent moon is up tonight.
The gra.s.s and weed around the volcano are half a meter tall, blocking the vision below.
Zhang Yang does a bit of scouting with his spiritual sense, finding the unlucky animal that enters within.
Two minutes later, a small Red Armored Battle Bull enters the range of his spiritual sense.
”Unlucky one, you're mine!”
Zhang Yang has found his target, ducking down, he blends in with the dark and hides within the patch of gra.s.s and weed.
It's hard for Zhang Yang to crouch too low, his body is too stiff for him to change positions quickly. But if he doesn't stay low, the bull will be alerted and then Zhang Yang wouldn't get his chance, and instead, the bull will.
The Red Armored Battle Bull are hostile beasts, they're also very swift. Alerting a bull like so might change the situation drastically.
Zhang Yang forces himself to control his body, moving slowly, he crept towards the bull's area.
80 meters… 70 meters… 50 meters…
Zhang Yang has spent five minutes crouching towards the bull, he was only 40 meters away.
But during this time, the bull raises his head from the patch of gra.s.s, scanning the area.
Zhang Yang stops all movement, he finishes with a palm on the ground slowly.
”Has he found me already?”
The bull was sniffing the area suspiciously, looking dead center at Zhang Yang's direction.
s.h.i.+t, I've been discovered…
Their location was downwards of the valley, the breeze from behind Zhang Yang is also taking his smell along. A heavy rotten smell that gave him away to the bull.
”Moo!”
The Red Armored Battle Bull grunts, his nose blowing out smoke. He stomps onto the ground, a fresh mark appears of hooves. Readying himself to charge at Zhang Yang, hooves sliding backward repeatedly.
The muscular front body could deal a heavy blow, razor sharp horns that could pierce.
”f.u.c.k, my plan A has failed!” Zhang Yang gives an angry curse, activating a Strength Boosting Talisman before getting up.
Suddenly, a seven meter long Giant Lizard comes out from behind the Red Armored Battle Bull. The Giant Lizard is much more experience at stealth compared to Zhang Yang. He was hiding in the tall gra.s.s behind the bull, he came when Zhang Yang wasn't focused with his spiritual sense.
Too late now but Zhang Yang has now seen the lizard.
”The bull wants me but the lizard wants the bull…A cycle of beasts”
